What is our potential - and our limits - as individual human beings?
Manage episode 311611945 series 2983374
In this episode I’m talking to Professor Jonathan Schooler about our potential - and our limits - as individual human beings.
We’ll ask whether there are any human capabilities we’ve underexploited to date, or are just not yet aware of. We’ll explore whether we know ourselves very well as creatures, and how knowing ourselves better might improve our lives. Overall, we’ll ask - what should our expectations for ourselves, and human beings in general, be?
Professor Schooler is based at the University of California in Santa Barbara in the USA. His research considers some of the big questions about human mental life and consciousness, and among other things, he runs the Center for Mindfulness and Human Potential.
